Real Madrid transfer news: Cristiano Ronaldo lined up for Juventus move

Manchester United and PSG have also been
linked with the Portuguese striker

One-Minute Read

According to The Sun, Ronaldo could be poised to join
Juventus after his agent ended an 11-year feud with the Italian
champions. 

Reports from Italy claim that super-agent Jorge Mendes is
lining up “a sensational move for the Real Madrid talisman” after
Ronaldo decided he wanted one final challenge away from the
Bernabeu.

At 33 his best days would seem to be behind him, give or
take the odd brilliant free-kick, and although Real Madrid have
tried to tempt him with a new contract, the Sun says that he wants
to sample a new club in the twilight of his career.

Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain have been two of
the clubs linked with Ronaldo in recent weeks but Juventus are
increasingly confident they will be able to seal a deal with the
Portuguese poseur.

Mendes and Juventus haven’t seen eye to eye for more than
a decade but their differences have apparently been resolved after
the agent facilitated the recent move of Valencia full-back Joao
Cancelo to Turin.

Consequently, the Italian giants “are now exploring the
chance of taking Ronaldo to Serie A” although the player himself
stonewalled questions on the rumours after Saturday’s defeat,
snapping: “It’s not the right time to talk about my
future.”

But the Italian press seem convinced a deal will be reached with
the front page of Sunday’s Tuttosport proclaiming: “Ronaldo-Juve, what a
story!” 

They add that Ronaldo will likely move to Juventus for
around £120m, with Real Madrid expected to try and lure Neymar from
PSG as his replacement.
